HI. This is the test paper i attnded on 12th. I didnt got much time to post it on net cuz was busy with Kanbay test preparation and then DIPAWALI.
By the way happy diwali and a Prosperous New Year.

The questions are not in order.

11 Questions 50 Marks 1 Section and Time was 1 Hour.
Venu – Pune (BMCC College)
Time 9 to 11.30
Two test Each of One Hour.

Firs one was of Maths and Analytical which i m giving here.

The other was English which was damn easy. (huh I Solved one of my maths paper question during English Exam…LOL)
******************************************************************************
1.
complete the series…

1,5,14,30,45,81….

ANs.
Soln…
the series is x + square-of(x+1)
i.e. 1 + square(1+1) = 1+square(2) = 5
5+9 =14
14 + (4*4) = 14+16 =30…
and So on…

4 marks

******************************************************************************
2.
There was a question on lace. One woman purchased x meter of some lace and y meter of other. x was cheaper. then the question had some conditions like she purchased the total cost of lace was less then 10 dollors and cost of lace was same as some ratio. i didnt remember that excatly. but was an easy question if u know maths and a Bit of commonsense.

I got the answer after the test. i made a silly mistake and hence i lost 6 marks.

6 marks.
******************************************************************************

3. Intresting one.

2 men were taking bottels of liquor.
first one was having 64 bottells.
Second one was having 20 bottels.
On airport the paid the custom duty on these bottels.
The firs one gave 40$ + 5 bottels.
Second one gave 2 bottels and no money but in exchange he got back 40 dollors.
Give the Tax per bottel and the cost of the bottel.

Soln. The immediate way to solve this quest. u get in mind will be…

Tax on 64 bottels = 40$ + 5x
Tax on 20 bottels = 2x – 40$

Where x = cost of Bottel
hence

64/20 = (40+5x)/(2x-40)

But WAIT…..
I made this mistake…
U should not repeat it…

after giving 5 bottels as tax the bottel left with the first man was 59 and
after giving 2 bottels as tax the bottel left with the second man was 18.
So they paid tax on 59 and 18 bottels and not 64 and 20.

The trick was wasy to guess but if u get nervous and dont use ure Head then u will surely go wrong.
So Avoid Carelessness.

(4 Marks)

******************************************************************************
4. Easy

There is a 5 digit numbers.
U have to guess them.
First num was twice the last and half of the third and something like that….
Every Condition will give u a Digit.

A played chess only C.
W is Neighbour of X.
and so on.
U have to tell which one was having the post x,y,z,v,w.

Soln.

Question was damn easy but I think there was a Condition missing cuz i was getting 3 person on a single post with other two vacant and i am sure i was right in solving the question.
Then i made a guess and Filled the position.

I think I got that right.

6 Marks.
******************************************************************************
8. Tricky.
There were three persons. They have to lock a door and distribute the keys among them selves such that
->Any two people can open the door.
->No single person can open the door.

Tell me how many minimum locks and keys will u have to use lock the door.

Soln.

I answered 2 Locks and 4 Keys such that two keys are duplicates. distribute them one each to every one and one out of the three will get a duplicate.

First Person Second Person Third Person
K1 K1(duplicate) K2 and K2 Duplicate

I thought my answer is correct but some frns. suggested the correct answere is
3 locks and 6 keys with three duplicates and i think they were right.

cuz then in my case First and Second togather will not be able to open the gate.

Tell me the correct ans if u get one at mukundis@email.com.
The question is correct. There was no extra condition given.
******************************************************************************

THERE WERE THREE MORE QUESTION WHICH I THINK ARE NOT WORTH OF EVEN GIVING A TRY. CUZ THEY WERE SO EASY THAT MY LIL BROTHER(HE’S IN 8TH) SOLVED THEM UP FOR ME.

(THOUGH HE SOLVED THEM BUT ACTUAALY I DONT REMEBER THOSE QUESTION)(L0L)(SORRY BUT THEN THEY WERE VERY EASY. TWO WAS ON MATHS AND OTHER WAS ON LOGIC…OR COMMON SENSE I SHOULD SAY.)

asks him to come three days after the before day of the day after tomorrow? On which
day the lawyer asks the person to come?

Ans: Wednesday

Approach:
Today=Saturday
Day after tomorrow=Monday
Day before day after tomorrow=Sunday
Three days after the day before the day after tomorrow=Wednesday

3) A person is 80 years old in 490 and only 70 years old in 500 in which year is he
born?

Ans: 570 BC

Approach:
Since the age gets decreased with the years, the years should definitely be in BC
and hence u should increment the years as u decrease the age. Therefore if he is 70
years old in 500BC, he would have born on 570 BC!!

4) A man enquires a person about the past 5 days temperatures at 12 noon in that
region. The other replies that he doesn�t remember the actual figures but there was a
different temperature on each day and that their product gives 12. Assuming the
temperature to the nearest degree what are the temperatures on the five days?

Ans: -1,-2,1,2,3
Approach:
We know that the smallest two integers that can give a product of 12 is 3*4 which is
spilt up as 2*2*3. But no temperature is the same�hence use -2 instead of 2. Now the
product becomes -12. Choose the other temperatures such that value of the product
does not change but only the sign changes. So naturally, the other two options are -1
and 1.

5) A cube is painted. It is cut into 27 cubes with three straight lines. Find the
number of cubes with
a. 3 sides painted
b. 2 sides painted
c. 1 side painted
d. no painted sides

Ans: a. 8 (4 corner cubes + 4 corner cubes)
b. 12 (center cubes at each EDGE)
c. 6 (center cubes at each FACE)
d. 1 (cube at the center of the original cube)

Approach
Draw a cube (with front, top and side faces, dont draw the inner lines. that’ll
confuse) cut it into 27 cubes. thats done by drawing 3 horizontal and 3 vertical lines
on the front face of the cube. extend those lines along the other two faces. then
COUNT accordingly.

6) A person travels at a speed of 10 mph from one city to another. However while
returning as there was not much traffic. He came with a speed of 15mph. what is his
average speed?

Ans: 12 mph

Approach:
Let the distance be X
Distance/ Time=Speed
Time taken for forward journey=X/10
Time taken for return journey=X/15
Total time for to and fro journey T =[(X/10)+(X/15)]
Total distance covered D=2X
Hence, average speed= D/T = 12mph

7) There is a peculiar island where people speak a strange language called
�Kubi�.The men always speak truth and a women never say two 2 consecutive truth or false
statements, that is, if she says truth statement once then she says false statement
next and vice versa. The boys and girls always lie. One day I asked a child �Are you a
boy or girl ?” and the child replied in Kubi. Since I didn�t know the language, I
asked the child�s parents what it means. One of the parents said �The child says,�I am
a boy�� and the other said that “The child is a girl. He lied”.
a) Is the child a boy or a girl
b) Which parent answered first?

Ans: The child is a girl and father answered first.

Approach:
Take the statement �The child is a girl. He lied”. If �He lied� is true, then the
child is a girl is a false. Likewise, is �He lied� is false, then the child is a girl
is true => The second statement was given by the child�s mother and hence the father
answered first.
Take the statement �The child says,�I am a boy�. Since the father always speak the
truth, the child should have said that he was a boy. But then the child lies, so he
cannot be a boy => the child was a girl. (Confused? Try reasoning it out yourself,
u�ll understand the logic)

There is a couple and they have many children. 7 of them dont eat spinach. 5 ot
them dont eat carrot. 6 of them dont eat beans. 4 of them dont eat either spinach or
carrot. 2 of them eat neither spinach or beans and 3 of them eat neither carrot or
beans. and 1 dont eat spinach, carrot or beans. How many children r there in total?

Ans: 9 children

Approach:
4 of them don�t eat spinach or carrot => 4 of them eat beans alone.
2 of them don�t eat spinach or beans => 2 of them eat carrots alone.
3 of then don�t eat carrot or beans =>3 of them eat spinach alone.
Total children=4+2+3=9
(If some other reasoning approach was chosen, the remaining three statements could
be used. But this one is simple and I am sure that the answer is right. Try out the
other approaches anyway)

9) There are three tribes in a village. The Sorobean always speaks the truth. The
Narobean always lies and the Midorean speaks truth and false alternatively. From the
following statements, find out who belongs to which tribe.

A: I am a Sorobean
B is a Narobean

B: I am a Sorobean
C is a Midorean

C: I am a Sorobean
A is a Midorean

Ans: A �Midorean, B-Narobean, C-Sorobean

Approach:
Simple ! Assume one as Sorobean and try to satisfy the conditions. All the above
statement get satisfied only for the above answer. I think the statements that I have
given are right�am sorry if its wrong but the answer to this puzzle in the Infy paper
is the one that I have given above.

10) A flight is scheduled to depart at 12 midnight. A family arrived at the airport
10 hours late and missed the flight. If they had arrived 4 hours earlier, they would
have reached the airport 2 hours earlier to the departure of the flight. (Something
like that�not sure of the values). What is the present time ?

Ans: 4PM

Approach:
Let the present time be X
If they r 4 hours early, they arrive at airport at X+(10-4)=X-6.
The train leaves at 12 midnight => total duration from morning 12am 10 12
midnight=24 hours.
x-6 is 2 hours earlier to 12Pm =>24-(x-6)=2
X=16 hours=4PM

The paper was very easy compared to all the other papers. Have confidence and clear
analytical thinking

The pattern was like this�.
U have to attend 10 puzzles in 1 hour first and then u r given an English paper of
45 questions in half an hour�s time. The puzzles have different weight-ages. Begin
with the puzzles that have more marks (8 marks n 6 marks first) and then complete the
smaller ones. If u get stuck up, skip that for the time being and finish the rest�u
can come back to it later. Also, u r allowed to have ur puzzle answer sheet with u
when u write ur English test as well. Try completing ur English test in 20 min (if
possible) n use the remaining 10 min for puzzles. Time management is very important as
far as puzzles are concerned.

Apart from the previous papers, go thru these books if u have time. The more u work,
the better u can attack the paper. Prioritize ur preparation in the following order.

1) Previous Papers (must)
2) Shakuntala Devi More Puzzles
3) Shakuntala Devi Puzzles to Puzzle You
4) GRE Barron
5) Puzzles and Teasers by George Summers
6) Ravi Narula

(To be frank�. .I never touched the last three�..just heard of those from the other
chetana members)

The duration of the paper was 2.30 hrs.

For the first half an hour a form was given to us and they ask us to fill that.

It contained d detailed information of our education with percentage and rank.

I think that is also considered during the evaluation of written paper.

After half an hour, there was written paper for 1 hour having ten puzzles to solve

———————————

10 puzzles

Sandy’s uncle died leaving 1000 rs behind to be distributed among his five nephews.

The money is to be divided among the nephews according to their ages. A person gets

Rs 20 more than his immediate younger brother.Sandy being the youngest what was his
share?

Ans. Rs 160.0

It was quite an easy one.

let sandy’s share be x

x+x+20+x+40+x+60+x+80=1000

5x+200=1000

x=800/5

x=160

Rohit was descending from the elavator which was not working. When he had stepped
down

7 steps his sir started from the bottom of the elevator and they passed each other
and when Rohit had still 4 steps to go down, his sir reached at the top. Taking into
consideration that sir?s 2 steps took same time as Rohit?s one what were the total
no of steps?

Ans

22 steps

let no of steps be x

speed=distance/time

Distance covered by Rohit = x-7-4 (7 steps already covered and 4 were still to go)

Distance covered by sir = x

Speed of Rohit =s

Speed of sir = 2s

Time taken is equal in both the cases so

Time(rohit)=time(sir)

(x-7-4) / s = x / 2s

2x ? 22 = x

x=22

3> ( 3 marks)

A vendor who is an ex-mathematician has a number of apples and when he arranges them
in rows of 3 he is left with one more, when he arranges them in rows of 5 again he
is left with 1 more, Same happens with when he tries to arrange them in rows of 7 and
9 that is 1 apple is left extra.

But when he arranges them in a row of 11 he is left with none. Can u tell me how
many apples were there?

Ans

946

the no is a multiple of 3,5,7,9 + a remainder of 1. So

3* 5* 7* 9= 945 + 1 =946

946 /11= 86

so it is divisible by 11 also.

4> ( 4 marks)

A theft was reported in a p[olice station and police detained 3 persons ? Tommy, Lee
and Andy on the basis of doubt. However everyone said that he did not steal and one
among the other two is the thief. Later on police came to know that Tommy was lying.
Who was the real thief?

Ans

Tommy

He gave 2 false statements:

1: he didn?t steal though he was the thief.

2: one among the other two did it. If he is the thief how can other 2 do it.

It was very easy and infact that created a doubt n everyone cross checked it again n
again to be sure as nobody was expecting such a simple puzzle.

5> (6 marks)

The temperature is noted for 5 consecutive days and it is noted that no two days
have the same temperature. Moreover the product of all the 5 readings is 12. The
difference is noted to the nearest degrees. What were the readings of the temperature?

Ans: -2, -1, 1, 2, 3

Factors of 12: 4*3,6*2

2*2*3 bt 2 cant b repeated so ?2 and to nullify -ve sign ?1 is there

so ?2 *-1 * 1 * 2 *3 = 12

A dice has faces 1 against 6, 3 against 5 and 2 against 4 always. How many such
combinations of faces are possible in a dice?

Ans

24

keeping 1 and 6 fixed, we can have two combinations of 6 and 3, and two of 2 and 4
that means four. And interchanging 1 and 6 we can have two more combinations that
means with one pair 8 combinations are there : 4*2=8. Similarly with other two also 8
combos. So in all 8*3=24 combos are possible.

8> (4 marks)

A boy?s age is 5 times as old as his sister. His father?s age is twice to that of
his mother who is five times as old as the boy. The sum of all of them equals to that
of his grandmother who is celeberating his 81st birthday. How old is the boy?

Ans:

5 years old

let boys age b x

sister?s = x/5

mother?s=5x

fatther?s=2(5x)

grandmother?s=81

81=x/5+x+5x+10x

81*5 = x+5x+ 25x +50x

405 = 81x

x= 405/81

x=5

so boys age is 5 years

i think the soln is…..jane robinson is pilot!

TIPS 1:
I already mentioned that they will have some cut-off….my suggesstion
fix the target to reach that cut-off….for that, first atten the 8-marks questions
and then
6-marks question and then 4-marks…3marks
TIPS 2:
they will announce only 5 min more…..while that time, if u find any
question yet to atten, please note it down that in ur rough sheet….so that u can
solve it in
some part of english test section,if u r well good in english….because they get
back ur
puzzle question paper after 60 min time get elapsed…..but take it seriously the
english part
also….

TIPS 3:
All are repeated questions…..its better to prepare from previous question
papers….that’s enough…….
give last priority….to some puzzle books…..
NOTE about 3rd tips…. iam saying about current situation….that is currently
they are asking repeated questions….in future i don’t know….may be
different…in that case
approach some puzzle books……
shukuntala devi book’s is best…

SECTION 2
English paper duration 30 min
it was the easy one…..
it consists of….Comphrenshive questions….fill the blank with sutiable
words….Analogy questions

1.There is a escalator and 2 persons move down it.A takes 50 steps and B takes 75
steps while the escalator is moving down. Given that the time taken by A to take 1
step is equal to time taken by B to take 3 steps. Find the no. of steps in the
escalator while it is staionary.

Solution (not sure):
If A takes 1 step in one second, then B takes 3 steps in one second. If A takes t1
seconds to take 50 steps, then B takes 150 steps in t1 seconds.
For B, to take 150 steps he requires t1 seconds,
then to take 75 steps he requires t1/2 seconds.
So now, s1=50, t1 = t1 & s2=75, t2=t1/2
ans= (s1*t2 ~ s2*t1) / (t1 ~ t2) which gives 100.
so 100 steps is the answer

12. Ann, Boobie, Cathy and Dave are at their monthly business meeting. Their
occupations are author, biologist, chemist and doctor, but not necessarily in that order.
Dave just told the biologist that Cathy was on her way with doughnuts. Ann is sitting
across from the doctor and next to the chemist. The doctor was thinking that Boobie
was a goofy name for parent’s to choose,but didn’t say anything. What is each
person’s occupation?
Ans: Since Dave spoke to the biologist and Ann sat next to the chemist and across
the doctor, Cathy must be the author and Ann the biologist. The doctor didn’t speak,
but David did, so Bobbie is the doctor and Dave the chemist.

13. Sometime after 10:00 PM a murder took place. A witness claimed that the clock

Answer and Explanation.

F + C + T = 100————-eq1
15F + C + 0.25T = 100————-eq2
eq1=eq2 .solve to get F=3T/56 ;F=3,T=56,C=41

a) There is no need to consider their meeting pt at all.the train has been running
for 90miles/(60miles/hr)=1.5hrs.bird flies till train reaches destination frm strting
pt.so bird flies for1.5hrs at the vel given(90).so dist=1.5*90=135miles

b) time of train=1hr.so dist of bird=60*1=60miles

(a) u don’t need to sum it up.since it’s a knock out only 1 person emerges winner
finally.so15+1=16is answer.becos after15 matches finally we shud’ve 15losers and
1winner.

(b) 49:its always one less than no of players as per the idea given above.so no
need to check okay cos its always true.ans is 49.

Let x= current age
4(x+4)+5(x+5)=10x ;so x=R 41 years

37(x-y)=x^2-y^2. u no tht x^2-y^2=(x-y)(x+y).so (x-y) cancels on both sides to give
x+y=37.so sum of unequal halves=37 which is the req answer.

R ans:7 teams okay.for a match u need 2 teams.suppose there r totally ‘n ‘teams.
Now uve to choose 2 teams out of ‘n’ teams.so answer =no of such choices=no. of
possible combinations. So we’ve ans = nC2(ncombination2)=21;solve to get n=7.
Sol: n(n-1)/2=21. so n=7.if u don’t understand c the graph below
each team plays no. of matches=no of teams ahead of it. One bar ‘|’ represents one
team.
| | | | | | | ————7
6 5 4 3 2 1 0 ———–21
last team is written as 0 matches becos this team has already played with all other
teams-hence sum of matches =6+5+4+3+2+1=21 which is correct only if no of teams =7

R 14
1. G+2=j-2
2. 2(G-2)=J+2.
solve these 2 to get
J=14

a). Sol:each mky takes 8 min to eat a banana

b).ans:8m=48 m=6

Use sets and venn diagram to solve such questions.a,b ,aub,anb etc.
12=tennis+leave
18=jog +leave
so jog-tennis=6
again jog+tennis=14.so solve and get jog=10,leave=8,tennis=4.so tot=22

Ans= 32*2 + 30*2=124

Very very useful site for the hard workers …

cant say in words..

Sample Interview Questions: How will you answer?
Your career may depend on it…
Tell me about yourself… (Your answer should contain much more about your job
skills than your personal life.) Talk about the growth of your career, what you
learned from previous employment or even things like how your volunteer worked help you
develop your organizational, time management and leadership skills.

What are your strengths? (If you really enjoy new challenges and tackle them in
an organized manner, this would be a useful strength in almost any situation.) You
can talk about your ability to find unique solutions to problems. Be prepared with
some concrete examples, since that may be the follow-up question.

What are your weaknesses? (A “good” weakness might be that you have trouble
leaving the office behind when you go home in the evenings.) This is a very difficult
question that is not asked often, but it’s one you should prepare for anyway. If you
talk about your temper, your tendency to gossip or the fact that you’re lazy, you
may as well pack up and go home right then. If you mention a weakness such as your
lack of patience with people who don’t do their share of the work, you should also
mention that you keep this impatience to yourself and try very hard not to express it
toward others.

Do you have any questions about our company? (If you have paid attention during
the interview and if you have done your homework, this would be a good time to ask
for more details about some aspect of the company’s organizational structure or
products. It would not be a good time to ask about your first raise. You could also ask
questions about the community, their training program or details about the work
environment.)

Where do you expect your career to be in 10 years? (Be careful here. You do not
want to give the impression that you’re simply using this company as a stepping
stone to another career. Think of a related managerial position within the company that
would interest you.) There is a story about a young accountant who was asked this
question by a CPA firm during an interview. The young accountant replied that he saw
himself as the comptroller of a large corporation. In other words, “I’m just using
your firm to teach me and then after you spend your resources training me, I will
leave to go work for someone else.” Needless to say, he was not offered a position
with the CPA firm. They know that 75% of the people they hire will leave within 10
years, but they do not want to hire someone who comes in with that plan.

What skills do you have that would benefit our company? (If your skills are not
exactly those that the company may have requested, you can point out the skills you
have that would be valuable to any company. Examples of these skills are: your
ability to plan and execute long-term projects, your ability to organize information into
usable data, your ability to research complicated issues, or your ability to work
well with a team.) If your skills are not perfect for this particular company, you can
mention how quickly you were able to adapt and learn in other situations. Again, be
prepared with specific examples in case you are asked to elaborate.

Why did you leave your last job? (This is not an opening to speak badly of your
former employer. There is almost always a way of wording the explanation so that you
do not sound like a “problem employee” and your former employer does not sound like
an undesirable company.) As unfair as it may seem, there is almost no time when you
should say something bad about your former employer. You can talk about the lack of
potential for upward mobility, the fact that your job responsibilities changed to
the point that it no longer fit into your career plan, your need to move to be closer
to your aging parents, the need to reduce travel time, your need for a more
challenging job, or anything else that does not get into personalities or other conflicts.
If you were fired for cause, you may want to be up front about it, explain the
circumstances and accept responsibility for your actions. Practice your answers to this
question with someone who has interview experience. However, don’t lie.
If you can’t say anything positive about your former employer, don’t say anything.
It could come back to haunt you.

IMPORTANT INTERVIEW TIPS:

Arrive a little early. If you arrive about fifteen minutes before the scheduled
interview time, you will have time to collect your thoughts, wipe the perspiration
from your hands, and scan the lobby for current company information. You will also
show your interviewer that you value his or her time.
Do your homework. Know the interviewer’s name and how to pronounce it (including
proper title: Mr., Mrs., Dr., etc.). Know the company’s major products or services,
the organization of the company (divisions, parent company, etc.), current business
news about the company and the company’s major customers and competitors. You can
learn most or all of this information from the company’s website, annual report or
company literature.
Bring a Spare Copy of Your Resume in a Briefcase or Folder. This demonstrates
that you are prepared. It also gives the interviewer something to take notes on.
Expect to Spend Some Time Developing Rapport. Personal chemistry is a main
ingredient in the hiring process. Try to relax and become comfortable with the
interviewer.
Watch Your Non-Verbal Communication. Maintain an open body posture and
appropriate eye contact. Seat yourself at a reasonable distance from the other person. Smile.
Don’t Be Embarrassed by Nervousness. Interviewers are human, and they often
become nervous, too. In fact, nervousness is a good sign – it shows that you are taking
the interview seriously. Avoid nervous mannerisms such as tapping your fingers, feet,
playing with pens, etc.
Body language is powerful! Good eye contact, a warm, natural smile and a firm
handshake can help you overcome nervousness, develop a personal rapport and present a
confident image.
Don’t Play Comedian or Try to Entertain the Interviewer. It is important to be
personable, but do not overdo it.
Don’t Exaggerate or Lie. You might be tempted to embellish your achievements in
the interview, but it will come back to haunt you on the job!
Follow the Interviewer’s Lead. Don’t try to take over the interview. Stick to the
main subject at hand, but do not dwell too long on one point. It is better to deal
with many questions rather than just one or two in-depth questions, unless that’s
where the interviewer leads you.
Be Prepared For Personal Questions, Even Some Inappropriate Ones. Anticipate how
you will handle personal questions without blowing your cool. Some interviewers may
not be aware of what they can and cannot legally ask you. Be sure you understand the
question. It is okay to ask for clarification.
Emphasize the Positive. Be frank and honest, but never apologize for lack of
experience or weaknesses. You can be self-confident without being overconfident or
flippant. If you are new to the job market, your lack of experience has one very
positive feature: you do not have to “unlearn” bad habits or different practices learned
from previous employers. Many employers like the idea that you can be taught their
individual company procedures without needing to get rid of other training first.
Wait for an Offer to Bring Up Salary. Let the interviewer bring up this subject.
Often salary and benefits are not discussed at all on the first interview. Even
though everyone knows that salary is important, you do not want to give the impression
that it is the only consideration. If it is, you can be easily lured away be a
competitor offering a slightly higher salary. The interviewer needs to see that you are
interested in the other aspects of the job like the potential for growth, learning
or the challenge of the position.
Don’t be Afraid to Think Before You Speak. Use silence and intentional pause to
your advantage. Time is occasionally needed to think and to reflect. The interviewer
will respect you for taking a questions seriously enough to give it a moment or two
of consideration before answering.
Emphasize What You Can Do For The Organization. This means emphasizing your
transferable skills. However, be careful not to reveal trade secrets from a previous
employer. Employers are concerned most with what you can do for them. Focus on your
ability to tackle new situations, your communication skills, interpersonal abilities,
analytical thinking talents, and other skills developed while in college or in
previous positions.
Don’t give “Prepared Answers”. Most employers know a these stock answers when
they hear them. This is a good reason to use interview question / answer guide as
just that – guides. If your answers are not personalized to your situation, they will
sound forced and unnatural. You might be surprised to learn how often interviewers
hear the phrase, “I really like working with people.” The phrase is used so often
that it has lost it’s meaning!
NEVER Speak Badly about a Former Employer. If there were problems with previous
experiences, try to put your answers in the positive rather than the negative. If
you slight a former employer, the interviewer may assume that you will someday do the
same to him or her.
Watch Your Grammar and Your Manners. Employers are interested in candidates who
can express themselves properly. Even if you have to slow down to correct yourself
– do it! Use slang expressions very sparingly. If your knowledge of rules of
etiquette are rusty, take a “refresher course” from a knowledgeable friend.
Be Prepared to Ask Questions. Almost all interviewers will ask if you have any
questions. You should have some ready and should have at least one that is related to
the conversation you have just completed. This demonstrates that you are both
prepared and interested. Your questions should be related to details about the company
and should be based on the information you learned from the homework you have done
(see Tip #2). You should not ask questions like “How long to I have to wait before I
can take a vacation?” Save those what’s-in-it-for-me questions for later.
Use Telephone Interviews. If you are applying for jobs in places in other
states, you can suggest a short telephone interview. Even a preliminary telephone
interview can help you assess whether or not it would be worth your time and expense to
travel for a personal interview.
Don’t Expect an Immediate Job Offer. Offers usually follow the interview, a few
weeks later. If you are offered the position on the spot, it is appropriate for you
to ask for one or two days to think about the offer before responding.
Be Careful With the Closing. Do not linger. End quickly and courteously. Thank
your interviewer for the interview. Smile.
Be Yourself! You do not want to get hired on the basis of something you are not.
You want to be hired for who you are!

In the interview they asked some general questions like, about yourself, your negative & positive qualities, why you want to join in Infosys etc.

In any problems regarding to test or the interview please mail me at jayanta_uitbu@rediffmail.com.

First of all, I had my
written test on 27th november(in Hyd).I got my call
letter on 14th.Believe me,I prepared only for 1
week.When i got the call letter,I decided that i am
not gng to attempt as i thought that i would not be
able to prepare in 12 days.But after 4 days,with my
parents n friends repeatedly trying to convince me to
write the exam as it is difficult to get an other
opportunity,I too thought of just giving an attempt.I
have applied to many companies online.But, the first
call that i got was from Infosys.So,after 4 days, i
collected all the previous papers n started preparing
from the 5th day.I prepared only for 1 week.As far as
the test is concerned,it is enough if u prepare
previous question papers(especially 2005).Dont b
depressed if u r not able to solve shakunthala devi n
other books(like barrons…).If u have time after
solving the previous papers, then go 4 shakuntala
devi.I solved only 100 puzzles frm shakunthala.barrons
is not required.Dont just mug up the answers,solve
them becoz,when they evaluate, they look at the way in
which u got the answer.I solved 8 puzzles out of
10.The other 2 , i left completely.Though i attemted
8,i was confident only with 7.So,attempt whatever u
can.
Reg ENGLISH, dont worry.that will b easy.there
will b a passage n 4-5 q’s related 2 tat.Then,there
will b 4-5 synonyms.there will b sumthing like…fill
ups…say, a small story divided into 5 or 6 sentences
and fill ups to fill that answers…(answers
like..will come, shall come,had left…).thats very
easy.then they will give u 4 sentences n then ask u to
find out the odd one(may b with grammatical
errors).THE ENGLISH PART IS COMPLETELY OBJECTIVE
TYPE.So, u dont hv 2 worry.u can do it without
preparation.

But do hard work for atleast 1 week.That will change
ur future.Never feel depressed.Even,I was an average
student.I dont work hard that much.My hard work was
only for 1 week.Believe in urself n think that u can
do it.then u will definitely b into infosys.

For all people trying for a job there….it’s not all that gud as it seems from outside. Talk to someone who is already in before you decide.

There is nothing like a reference would work. All that is needed is little hard work and more usage of brain. before attending the test plz try to solve as many questions as possible from the above questions. make sure u know how to solve. u should b confident enough to explain how u got the ans (even if it is wrong)

plz help,

if a+b+c+d=d+e+f+g=g+h+i=17
& a=4,find the other values.
assume each alphabet takes 1 and only one digit from 1-9.

a + b + c +d = d + e + f + g = g + h + i =17.
If a = 4, what are the values of d and g. Each letter taken only one of the
digit from 1 to 9.
Ans: a = 4 ,b = 2, c =6, d = 5, e = 3, f = 8, g = 1, h = 7, i = 9.

this is good

Then there was the english test. neither too easy nor too tough.

this is my experience

there were a panel of two an Elder man and a women of 40.

1) they saw my project and started with it.

2) lots of questions on my project relating the project with other applications.

3) then i was to choose a topic from the list and asked to speak for One minute.the topic were

i) BPO ii) fossil fuel iii) TATA and ……..

then they asked me about the team work in my project how i handled them what difference i had with my team mates.

5) about the leadership.

6) i was given a spring with a ring in it and was asked if it can be separated i had told no but they can be separated . ie as the ring was big in radius than that of spring , slowly get the spring into the center and remove it .

7) they asked what mistakes i had done in the last interview that i was not selected.

then a match stick problem was given with three squares in first row and two in the second i was asked to remove two sticks and replace them to make only four squares.

Interview Process:
1.) i was asked to introduce myself first , which i did ok.

2.) then they asked me why i wanted to do join infosys .
i gave them the usual dream company stuff and a few reasons to support.

3.) then they asked me if i knew where infy was planning its biggest facility in india.
i didnt have a clue but blabbered it was in chennai. (it actually was in hyderabad, which i later realised).
the interviewer said ‘is that all u knew about ur dream company’.

Here was when i thought i lost the chance.

4.) then he asked me where was infosys’s biggest facility as of now ?
I said it was in mysore (this is right). he said ok, and asked me wat else i knew about infy.
i told them about C-life and all that stuff we cud find in thier site.

it seemed like he wasnt impressed, and said these were all in thier site .i said it was.

5.)then he asked me wat had i done in the past year to update myself on the IT industry coz i was from mech background.?

i didnt know wat to anwer intailly, i then said i knew a few softwares which i’ve learned in my college and stuff.

he interrupt me saying that he wasnt asking about any softwares or languages , just the work culture and environment.

i thought for a few seconds and said i had lotta friends working in the IT industry , so i get to know wats happening in the IT sector,besides i update myself reading the newpapers and visiting company sites and i myself wasnt convinced with the answer.

a better answer wud have been which i later thought was ” i am working for the past year so i know how to work in a team and manage people and get along with them.so working in a team isnt a problem for me.and i know that infy has the world’s best training facility , so am sure thier training wud help me adapt to the work culture beter ,me being a fast learner.so am sure i can cope up with that “.

am mentioning this coz , it may be useful to some people who are in my shoes.

6.) he asked me if i was creative.
which i duly answerd as yes.

he then gave me a cell phone and asked me wat else i cud do with that besides its nature of use. and before i cud answer he interrupt me saying ” the first one wud be a paper weight , isnt it ?? “.
i wondered wats going on and said ” yes ,it is ” and went on saying that it can be wrapped in colour paper and used as a decoratice item, calling bell,horn and all that crap.he said ok.

7.) it was a puzzle.
he drew a traingle such that each side has 4 small circles in it,totally making it 9 circles.(note that 3 circles are on the vertex and 2 in between them).he said i shud fill the circles with numbers from 1 to 9 such that they are not repeated and all nos shud be used atleast once so that we get 17 adding up each
side.

i being tense , my mind refused to work. but still i tried to solve it, actually tring to find out the combi’s in which we get 17 using the nos 1 to 9.

it was funny, he interrupted me again before i cud finish and asked wat am i doing,was i trying trial and error or any other method.

i said,am trying to arrive into a logical conclusion trying to figure out wat combi’s wud gimme 17 and and wat nos wud fit it in that vertex circles.he said ok and said he didnt expect me to solve it , just wanted to see the approach. i said ok.

8.) he said ok,it was nice to have me there and if i had any quetions.
of course i had.

i asked a couple of usual questions and then the million dollar question, ” when can i expect my results “, which he duly answered in 2 to 3 weeks.

that was it.

i really had no hope and cursed myself for messing it all up.

i later met my classmate who was working there and we got talking. he then said,it may have been a stress interview which they conduct often,it depends on the panel.

so be prepared.

stay unruffled and positive.

if possible show them some eagerness and enthusiasm.thats all they need , u sure’ll be in and i was in for a great surprise when i saw the offer letter asking me to join on 27th Feb in Mysore.

i really thanked my heavens and was in cloud 9 for some time before i got down.

it really was an experiance.

guys,all i wud say is,prepare well for the test,the crucial two aspects are ,

me: see i think u should get a good industrial experience after doing engineering for 4 years and generally u dont get exposed to various aspects of industry in the small companies and u learn them only in bigger companies like infy and also u should work for atleast 2-3 years to get that experience so i dont think that there is any point in doing a job for 6-7 monthes n then leave it so i was waiting for the right opprtunity.(both the ladies looked impressed)

lady: so u read also?what books have u read recently?
